fight the farm-killing Green New Deal
Fight the farm-killing Green New Deal.
Occurrences
In Congress, I’ll have their backs, working to expand free, fair trade, support family farming and ranching, oppose anti-competitive behavior in meatpacking, and fight the farm-killing Green New Deal.
Evidence
Flood said H.R. 1346 passed the House; his office identifies him as a cosponsor of the bill lifting restrictions on 10% to 15% ethanol sales nationwide.
The Clerk recorded H.R. 1346 passing on May 13, 2026, by 218 yeas to 203 nays.
Flood said the House-passed housing amendment included several provisions he introduced or backed, including HOME reforms and environmental review streamlining.
Congress.gov lists Flood as a cosponsor; H.R. 5184 passed the House 263-147 on January 9, 2026, then was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
The House debate described H.R. 5184 as authored with Flood and as overturning a DOE rule tied to energy-efficiency policy under the Green New Deal.
Flood sponsored H.R. 1066 to repeal Clean Air Act Section 138 on environmental and climate justice block grants; Congress.gov shows it referred to Energy and Commerce with introduced status.
Flood introduced the 118th Congress version of the Ending Green Giveaways Act; Congress.gov shows it was referred to Energy and Commerce and stayed at introduced status.
The House Clerk roll call for H.R. 5376 recorded Flood voting Nay; the bill nevertheless passed the House 220-207.
Assessments
Flood took concrete federal actions consistent with opposing Green New Deal-style climate and energy policies: voting against the Inflation Reduction Act, sponsoring bills to repeal climate-related grant authority, cosponsoring or helping advance anti-regulatory energy and housing measures, and backing year-round E15 legislation framed around farmers and rural America. However, the record does not show full delivery of a broad anti-Green-New-Deal outcome, such as repeal or defeat of the relevant federal climate agenda; several measures only passed the House or remained introduced. This supports partial fulfillment with meaningful effort, including later-term activity.
